What did you do to your Supra today?

[Mimosa]

I couldn't help myself. Smoked a "Stage 2" RS5... I don't know what that means. I also had a BMW X5 M that figured he would crush me. He would have destroyed me if my car was stock. But nah. Both on Map 1 (630whp / 580wtq).

I've also noticed that my car no longer farts when shifting under load. This pleases me greatly. I don't know if it's from Botti's tune or the new turbo set up. But I'm kind of glad it's gone.

I opened mail packages for it.

I’m very curious to know what eliminated the farts? I really hate that the car does that.

It's from timing retard and fuel cut on shift. Any tuner can tune that out for you.

Added the roof vortex thingy. Not sure if I like it yet or not...

Good to know! Thanks!

Thanks! It's the extreme online store a91 CF replica.

Swapped out my Supra script for solid black. Didn't dig the chrome edge on the stock badge. Also, it supposedly adds +15hp.

I did the same, kinda. Went the cheap route and just sprayed it with plasti-dip. Also did the edges of the GR badge. Looks so much better without the chrome. Cleaned up my exhaust tips while waiting for everything to dry.

I take it these turbos don't have any issues with warping of the hot side?

Not a PTE. Def not a cheap thin eBay casting

Its actually less warpy if a heated metal is insulated and cooled slowly. It's rapid heating and cooling that warps and crack metal.

insulating is used in a lot of industrial welding to keep it from cooling too fast and developing issues.

I'm sure there is someone on here that's a metallurgist that can science it for us

I think I would call that heat movement! Look at how much hotter the DP and everything around it is now.

That would be fair. It's too expensive to test, but we've had a couple cars with turbo failure with blankets and no failure without, everything else being exactly the same.
Could have just been coincidence.
